Federal benefits for Moscow pensioners in 2018

Federal benefits are common to all retirees. They are provided by the federal law, and paid by the Russian budget. In fact, these benefits are often beneficial.

Pensioners of Moscow, like pensioners of other regions of the country, in 2018 are entitled to receive the following federal benefits:

1. Property deduction after purchasing real estate "retroactively". We are talking about how Russian citizens have the right to return 13% of the income tax paid by them to the budget when purchasing an apartment. Pensioners are the only category entitled to a refund of personal income tax paid before the purchase of housing. Refunds are allowed for taxes paid for the last 3 years.
2. Property tax exemption: pensioners in our country do not pay tax on apartments, residential buildings, garages, summer cottages with an area of ​​up to 50 square meters, and premises used as a studio, creative workshop, atelier, museum, library or non-state museum. Moreover, there is a rule - a pensioner is exempt from tax only for 1 such object. This means that if an elderly person owns 2 properties, then the tax exemption applies only to 1 of them.
3. Income Tax Exemption: Pensions and a number of other benefits received by a retiree are not subject to 13% income tax.
4. The right to additional leave "at their own expense" for working pensioners: if an old-age pensioner continues to work officially, then the employer is obliged to provide such a person with additional unpaid leave of up to 14 days during the calendar year. For disabled workers, this is 60 days a year.
5. The right to free legal assistance: This right is vested in retirees living in social service organizations.

What city benefits do Moscow pensioners have in 2018?

One of the main advantages for pensioners of Moscow in 2018 is the additional payment to pensions established under the mayor of Luzhkov.

All Russian recipients of old-age pension are entitled to receive additional payments up to the subsistence level of a pensioner. However, Moscow pensioners who have been living here for 10 years or more receive additional payments up to a much higher level.

If for Moscow pensioners living in the city for less than 10 years, the minimum pension is 11,816 rubles, then for native Muscovites this minimum is 17,500 rubles.

Moscow pensioners living here for 10 years or more do not have a pension of less than 17,500 rubles.

If we talk about the benefits financed by the city in addition to the social support measures provided by the federal budget, then in 2018 the pensioners of Moscow are provided with the following benefits:

• Free travel on public transport - except for taxis and minibuses. From August 1, 2018, pensioners of Moscow and the region have another benefit - the right to free travel on electric trains going from Moscow stations to the cities of the region.
• The possibility of making / repairing dentures free of charge - the benefit does not apply to expensive dentures made of precious metals / cermets.
• The right to a free voucher to a sanatorium and free travel to a sanatorium is a privilege granted exclusively to non-working pensioners even when treatment in a sanatorium is required for medical reasons. Funding for the benefit has limitations, and even if all the conditions are met, it will be necessary to stand in line.

Moscow pensioners living alone / families consisting only of pensioners are entitled to receive the following benefits in 2018:

• Compensation for using a landline telephone in the amount of 250 rubles per month - for subscribers of the city telephone network.
• Benefit for the service "MSW removal" - lonely pensioners / families consisting only of pensioners do not pay for garbage collection.

Additional benefits for Moscow pensioners in 2018

In addition to the benefits provided to pensioners of Moscow by the federal and city authorities, in 2018 they can also use the benefits provided by the city business.

Almost every pensioner in Moscow has a Muscovite - this is a plastic card to which the pension is transferred, it is also used instead of a policy in a clinic, a transport pass, etc.

In addition, it grants Moscow retirees the right to additional discounts in a number of city shops, pharmacies, catering establishments, etc.

About 5 thousand establishments selling goods / providing services to city residents participate in the discount program for Moscow beneficiaries of benefits. As a rule, such institutions announce the provision of benefits to pensioners on a social card in advertisements.

Labor veteran benefits in 2020 have not been canceled and have not undergone significant changes. At the federal level, all the same benefits enshrined in the Federal Law "On Veterans" continue to operate, but in the regions their list has even expanded somewhat. Separately, it should be noted that the title of "labor veteran", and with it the benefits, are received not by all pensioners, but by certain categories of persons listed in the legislation and who have applied with a corresponding statement to social protection.

Federal Labor Veterans Benefits

This is the invariable list of benefits that all labor veterans in the Russian Federation have the right to enjoy, regardless of their place of residence:

1. Benefits for utility bills and rent

Preferences for payment of utility bills can be obtained only in the absence of debts on utility bills for:

• electricity;
• gas supply;
• water supply;
• votootka;
• garbage removal;
• operation of radio and collective television antennas.

Benefits for electricity and other utility bills are provided in the form of a 50% discount when paying bills. However, in fact, the veteran pays the entire amount, and then compensation in the amount of half of the transfer is transferred to his deposit or bank account. Alternatively, compensation for utility bills can be sent by postal order.

They are also entitled to a 50% discount on the payment for the area of ​​the total area of ​​housing. It can also be used by members of the veteran's family.

2. Free travel

Travel benefits for labor veterans are established everywhere in all constituent entities of the Russian Federation and consists in the right to free travel in urban land transport.

In order for a veteran to travel for free, it is enough to present a certificate. In some large cities (Moscow, St. Petersburg), a social card is issued, according to which you can also move around the city on public transport for free.

Please note that public transport does not include private minibuses and taxis. The benefit also does not apply to air travel (however, individual carriers can establish preferential conditions for flights or the regional budget can partially subsidize the purchase of air tickets by veterans).

3. Benefits for medical care and prosthetics

This category of citizens has the right to be served free of charge in the health care system. This is just about medical services, not about the provision of free medicines, this is important, since many people confuse “free medicine” with “free medicines”.

Also, government agencies must make and repair dentures (not implants!) Free of charge. This is again about a free service, not materials. Therefore, if you want teeth made of gold or ceramics, you will have to pay for the material out of your pocket.

To be served by a dentist on a preferential basis, your desire and personal attendance are not enough:

• Firstly, the reception is carried out only at the place of residence, in a polyclinic in another city you will simply not be accepted;
• Secondly, there is a register maintained by the local executive authority, which displays the queue of veterans for free prosthetics at certain institutions where this service is provided;
• Thirdly, this benefit can be used once every five years;
• Fourth, in order to use it, you need to get a certificate confirming that you need the installation of dentures.

In practice, the queue of those who want to use free prosthetics is quite impressive, so please be patient.

4. Benefits for working labor veterans

Since they are enshrined at the federal level, every employer must comply with them, no matter who you work for. Otherwise, contact the labor inspectorate.

So, labor veterans who continue to work have the right to:

1. Choose any time for your vacation, regardless of the schedule and workload of other employees;
2. Take 30 days of vacation for your light without agreeing on dates - at the moment when it is convenient.

At the regional level, a 30-day vacation can be increased by several days - but such a benefit is not valid everywhere, but for example, in Moscow, St. Petersburg, etc.

5. Tax incentives

1. The following incomes of labor veterans are exempted from personal income tax:
   • Pensions;
   • Additional social benefits;
   • Financial assistance from the employer (no more than 4,000 rubles per year);
   • Compensation for spa treatment.
2. Tax-free real estate registered to a veteran:
   • Plot;
   • Apartment;
   • Garage;
   • Utility and storage facilities.

What are the benefits of a labor veteran in the regions

In fact, the “social package” in the form of benefits, which helps to cut costs for veterans, is much broader. It's just that the rest of it is approved at the regional level each budget period and depends on whether a particular budget has the ability to pay for pensioners.

In the Moscow region

Benefits for labor veterans in Moscow and the region include those listed above, as well as additionally ( further, only regional benefits will be listed by region, but it should be remembered that federal benefits act simultaneously with them):

In the Rostov region

Rostov labor veterans, as well as in Moscow and St. Petersburg, can:

But what is also interesting is that labor veterans in the Rostov region can:

• receive compensation for the money spent on solid fuel for heating housing (it will be necessary to confirm the presence of stove heating with an appropriate document indicating the composition of the family).

As for the rest, the list for Rostovites is supplemented by federal benefits, so that, like labor veterans in other regions, they will be able to receive a 50% discount on the payment for common living space and communal services, as well as - telephone, radio, TV antenna, and even - will be able to return their contributions. aimed at overhaul.

Tax incentives for labor veterans in the Rostov region are somewhat expanded in comparison with federal ones: here labor veterans do not pay transport tax.

In the Nizhny Novgorod region

The Nizhny Novgorod regional authorities are pursuing an active policy of social protection of labor veterans. So, at the regional level, the following benefits have been introduced for pensioners and labor veterans:

• Provision of vouchers with a frequency of no more than 1 time in 2 years.
• Public transport discounts. A single ticket for 200 rubles makes it possible to travel by buses, trams, trolleybuses, cable cars, and the metro at discounts throughout the year;

Earlier in this region, compensation was paid for overhaul, but since 2017, its payment has been stopped due to the need to preserve the regional budget.

In the Krasnodar Territory

Here labor veterans are entitled to the following privileges:

We recommend that you follow the changes in the social policy that is being carried out in your region, since from time to time old benefits may be canceled due to a budget deficit or new ones may be introduced. Please contact your local social welfare and tax authorities for up-to-date information.

Benefits for lonely pensioners are provided for by the law of the Russian Federation. In 2020, there is a whole list of benefits that can be enjoyed by lonely and lonely elderly citizens. It is important to understand who can be considered lonely retirees and what privileges they have.

Such concepts as a lonely and lonely pensioner are not legally enshrined. They are considered people who have reached old age who do not have relatives. By law, older people are men who have reached the age of 60 and women who have reached the age of 55.

In fact, these are citizens who have nowhere to wait for help, do not have adult children and relatives who could support them financially. Or those who have relatives of retirement age, as well as disabled relatives who have 1 or 2 disability groups.

A single citizen and his family have the right to receive benefits, which, according to article 6 of the Federal Law of 24.10.1997 No. 134-FZ On the subsistence level in the Russian Federation, belongs to a poor family. This category of persons has the right to benefit from social support from the state.

Pensioners can benefit from benefits if the following condition is met. The income per family member does not exceed the subsistence level, which is established regionally in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation. The calculation is carried out according to ФЗ N 44-ФЗ dated 05.04.2003.

The government of the Russian Federation has established a list of incomes that are taken into account when calculating average per capita income, you can familiarize yourself with it Government Decree of August 20, 2003 N 512."On the list of types of income taken into account when calculating the average per capita family income and the income of a lonely citizen to provide them with state social assistance." Income includes:

• All payments of a labor nature, including salary, average earnings in the stipulated cases;
• Compensation payments issued during the performance of public duties, public work;
• Severance pay;
• Income received from the use of family property, as well as from the sale of products from their own household;
• Social payments to persons of retirement age;
• Other types of income available to a single pensioner.

The reasons why incomes per person are low must be valid. If the beneficiary's family has citizens of working age who do not work for disrespectful reasons, this family cannot be classified as poor. It should be understood that it is imperative that a pensioner be considered lonely - the absence of relatives, family members who live with this citizen, conduct a common joint household.

Benefits for single pensioners, provided by law, are provided if they live on labor pensions, but have the status of poor. Social assistance from the state can be obtained by applying to social protection at the place of residence with an application.

What are the benefits

Benefits for single pensioners are government support for the following purposes:

• Maintain a decent standard of living for lonely non-working pensioners;
• Purposeful use of budget funds;
• Targeting assistance specifically to needy citizens;
• Ensuring social living conditions, availability of necessary services;
• Raising the level of income of a person of retirement age;
• Reducing the degree of social inequality among citizens of the Russian Federation.

The state provides assistance in various areas. Social benefits in 2019-2020 include a discount on utilities, payments for residential premises; in a number of regions, there are benefits for travel on all types of passenger transport.

In some regions, low-income citizens of retirement age can receive compensation in the amount of part of the amount paid for housing and communal services, and the payment for overhaul is compensated. If a lonely person has the status of a hero of the USSR or Russia, then the payment for the overhaul is entirely at the expense of the state. Citizens who have reached the age of 80 receive a similar compensation.

The tax break is that older people are exempt from the obligation to pay property tax. To exercise this right, a citizen must contact the tax office at his place of residence. Moreover, for the time in retirement, when a person paid tax, they are obliged to make a recalculation and reimburse the overpaid amount.

Such retirees are also exempt from paying income tax, real estate tax, state duties when going to court, this status is also reflected in the transport tax. This fee does not have to be paid either. People of retirement age are entitled to monetary compensation for spa treatment and medical care.

Benefits for single pensioners are established by local authorities. Specific information should be obtained from the social security authorities at the place of residence. There are other benefits that are approved by individual regions for elderly people living in their territory.

The law provides for the opportunity for pensioners who solely own housing to receive income and maintenance. Thanks to the monthly life support provided by the annuity agreement, the elderly can use another person's care in exchange for living quarters that the caregiver will receive upon death.

How to draw up documents correctly

To receive benefits, such pensioners in Moscow should submit documents in accordance with the established procedure to the regulatory authorities that deal with these issues. In particular, at the place of registration, a citizen applies to the department of social protection with an application.

Next, you need to confirm your identity, provide a certificate of registration, a pension certificate. Proof of disability may be required, if any. They can request a certificate of income of a citizen. Depending on what benefits a citizen is entitled to, the package of documents may change.

Retired social card available to residents of Moscow also provides a number of advantages. From it, citizens can pay utility bills without a commission, have discounts on the purchase of goods and services, and a pension can be transferred to it. Convenience lies in the fact that the service of this card is free, there are many ATMs and branches where you can withdraw cash.

You can draw up documents in the multifunctional center, local authorities. The decision whether a person belongs to the category of poor citizens, whether the pensioner is entitled to benefits and payments, and in what form they will be received, is taken within 30 days from the date of application.

In Russia, women retire quite early. The retirement age is 55 and 60 for women and men, respectively. After a person receives the status of a pensioner, a number of new opportunities open up for him. The state took upon itself the responsibility to support the said segment of the population. Everyone needs to know Where and how they can be issued? After answering these questions, it will be possible to use state bonuses for retirees without much difficulty. They make life much easier and reduce spending in certain areas.

Types of benefits

It is important to note that the benefits vary. Pensioners can get help in the following areas:

• social;
• tax;
• housing;
• property;
• financial;
• medical;
• material.

It turns out that people of retirement age can get help in almost all spheres of life of a modern citizen. But what exactly can you expect? What are the benefits of an old-age pensioner?

Tax

The most common government bonus - They usually completely exempt older people from certain tax payments. Some of the benefits in this area are established at the regional level, but most of them are federal in nature.

Old age pensioners are most often distinguished by the following:

• property tax - full exemption from payment for 1 object in each category of real estate (room, house, cottage, apartment, and so on);
• transport tax - partial or complete exemption from payment for small cars;
• land tax - usually there are no benefits, in some regions they are exempted partially or completely.
• land tax deduction of 10,000 rubles - for all elderly people.

It is not difficult to guess that the registration of this bonus takes place at the Federal Tax Service. How to get rid of taxes as a pensioner will be discussed later. First, you need to understand the state support for the elderly in full.

Housing issues

What are the benefits of old-age pensioners? The next category of state bonuses is housing. Usually, in order to receive appropriate support, you need to submit a written notification of the exercise of your rights to the Criminal Code.

What can you claim in Russia after receiving the status of a pensioner? Today it is:

• discount on utility bills and rent (from 50% to 100%);
• reimbursement of expenses for using a home telephone;
• free out-of-order home phone installation;
• assistance with gasification of the house (free connection out of the general queue);
• exemption (from 80 years old) or 50% discount (from 70 years old) on payment for the services of major repairs of the house.

All this is guaranteed, as a rule, in all regions of the Russian Federation. But that's not all. Housing benefits do not end with the listed features.

Housing provision

The point is that, under certain circumstances, pensioners can receive housing from the state. Not everyone is provided with free housing. Today, it can be claimed by:

• people who do not own any living space;
• needy pensioners (requires official recognition as such);
• persons with special services to the state (veterans, heroes, and so on).

Accordingly, middle-income elderly people cannot hope for free housing. Registration of this benefit is carried out in the city administration or in the housing chamber of the region.

Medicine

The next very important area of ​​human life is medicine. It offers the elderly special bonuses.

Most of them do not require any registration. It is enough to have an identity card and a pension certificate with you.

What are the benefits of old-age pensioners in the field of medicine? Among them are:

• free (by prescription);
• treatment in sanatoriums and resorts (according to directions) without payment;
• free service in medical institutions out of turn;
• service in nursing homes and boarding houses free of charge;
• supply of dentures free of charge.

As already mentioned, no registration of benefits is needed. When applying for medical help, you just need to confirm your pensioner status.

Transport

Old age pension benefits often depend on where the family lives. Special attention should be paid to the transport sector.

The point is that today in Russia they are talking about the abolition of transport benefits for pensioners. This measure has been adopted in most regions. But in some cities, elderly people have not been deprived of state bonuses in this area.

Seniors are entitled to:

• free use of public transport;
• purchase of tickets for suburban transport out of turn;
• travel in commuter vehicles free of charge (usually after age 80).

It is important to note that the benefits (if any) do not apply to fixed-route and regular taxis.

Working Citizens

The retirement age in Russia comes quite early. The population, even after the registration of the status of pensioners, tries to continue their activities. This not only helps to feel younger, but also contributes to the increase in retirement.

Working pensioners are entitled to government support. They may require:

• tax deductions for certain transactions;
• leave without pay at a convenient time for yourself (the duration depends on the status of the pensioner);
• recalculation of the pension once a year;
• free advanced training or retraining at the expense of the employer;
• accruals for the period of employment.

Non-working pensioners also have the right to a tax deduction, but only if more than 3 years have passed since the date of dismissal. Otherwise, this opportunity is lost for persons who do not deduct personal income tax (13%).

Legal aid

Old age is a period when citizens often need legal support. The services of an experienced lawyer cannot be called cheap. Therefore, the state decided to provide elderly people with free legal support.

She relies on the following persons who have gone on a well-deserved rest:

• war and labor veterans;
• the poor;
• people living in social service organizations;
• politically repressed;
• incapacitated.

Everyone else will have to pay for the services of a lawyer. There is nothing surprising or unusual in this.

Targeted and material assistance

What are the benefits for old-age pensioners? Elderly people of the Russian Federation can receive material or targeted assistance. To do this, you must apply to the social services with an appropriate application.

Targeted assistance can be expressed:

• clothes;
• money;
• shoes;
• products;
• furniture;
• items for home and everyday life.

Targeted and material assistance is provided only to needy pensioners. The amount paid will vary. The only thing that can be said with certainty is that material support should provide a pensioner with a living wage in the region.

Financial sector

All citizens of the Russian Federation at a certain age are assigned a pension. For an old-age pensioner, benefits will be issued after a person is officially recognized as an elderly person. To date, his employment does not affect the receipt of most state bonuses.

Old people in Russia also receive financial benefits. Among them are:

• exemption from personal income tax for material support;
• receiving a pension;
• an increase in the insurance part of pension payments at a certain age.

As already mentioned, under certain circumstances and need, citizens will be helped to provide a living wage in the region.

Deep old age

It is clear what tax benefits for old-age pensioners are provided in Russia. Upon reaching the age of 80, new horizons open up for the elderly. What is it about?

At this age, citizens can usually count on:

• registration of personal care - the caregiver is credited with seniority and paid 1,200 rubles a month;
• complete exemption from;
• an increase in the insurance part of the pension by 2 times (it happens automatically).

The care is formalized in the FIU. If a citizen is caring for a pensioner, he cannot work. But, as already mentioned, seniority and retirement points will still be accrued to him.

For registration of care you need to bring:

• statement;
• passports of the parties;
• pensioner's ID;
• SNILS of a caregiver and a pensioner.

Both relatives (documents proving kinship will be required) and completely strangers can take care of a pensioner.

We issue tax incentives

Now it is clear what benefits an old-age pensioner has. All of these government bonuses are offered to the entire elderly population. How to apply for tax incentives?

To do this, you will need to contact the Federal Tax Service at the place of registration. The pensioner must bring with him:

• application with a request to be exempted from tax;
• pensioner's ID;
• passport;
• TIN (if any);
• transport / real estate ownership documents.

After studying the papers, the Federal Tax Service will exempt the pensioner from taxes. In order for the changes to take effect from the year of the citizen's appeal, it is necessary to submit a written request before November 1. Otherwise, they will be exempt from taxes from the next tax period.

Deductions

You should also pay attention to the registration of tax deductions. They are provided to all working citizens who donate 13% of personal income tax to the state treasury. Pensioners receive this support according to the general rules.

They should bring with them:

• a statement with a request for a deduction;
• identification;
• registration certificates;
• work book;
• income certificates (usually in the form of 2-NDFL);
• tax return;
• documents-grounds for obtaining a deduction (mortgage agreement, sales and purchase agreement, and so on);
• details of the account to which the funds are to be transferred.

After a detailed consideration of the request, pensioners can wait for a response from the Federal Tax Service regarding the provision of a deduction. If everything is done correctly, the money will be credited to the account in about 1.5-2 months. It is clear what benefits an old-age pensioner has.
